Thanks,
That's kind of cool but to mount that (at least the way they show it)I would have to pull my spindle belt off to get a ring on the bottom half of my varispeed pulley (the top half moves up and down for the varispeed). I'm hoping to do something where I can screw a screw into the side of the bottom half of my spindle pulley so I can do it without pulling it apart. An optical sensor like that would be ok but it would have to count breaks in the beam instead of connections (maybe it counts the same if the beam is connected for 359 degrees?).
Why do you need the board and not just the interupt module? http://www.cnc4pc.com/Tech_Docs/nte3100.pdf I'll ask Rufi what the minimul pulse width the dspmc will pick up is. I'd think I could just use the interupt module wired straight to the dspmc and it should pick up breaks from a set screw passing through it.
